A Serving of Vegetables

Observe & Consider

Is it still a serving of vegetables...if cooked cooked cooked (in water) then drained to eat?

Is it still a serving of vegetables...if cloaked with wheat flour... and deep-fried?

Is it still a serving of vegetables...if smothered in marshmallows or bacon?

What about onion rings – traditional breaded, deep-fried onion rings – like the ones I used to make and eat?

Additions, in themselves, are only a portion of the issue. Truly, even today, I can slice some onions, add carefully selected seasonings to my (free-range duck) eggs, bread them with coconut and rice flours, bake them on a buttered stainless steel pan… and delight!
